DH and I have two beautiful children, 3 and a half, and 18 months. They're great, but relentless - very very active, challenging etc - normal kids basically.
DH and I are totally worn out - we try and give the other a break, but what we actually want/need is a break together. We've had the odd meal out and trip to the cinema, but if anything that compounds the issue as we end up having a late night and miserable and grumpy when the kids pile in at 6am.
AIBU to ask my Dad (who is great with the kids, looked after them before etc) to look after the kids for a week so we can have a proper beach holiday? We've never been able to afford a foreign holiday before, so it would really be a massive treat for us.
Or am I being selfish?
